The beginning
20 castaways enter the area and stand on their respective mats. Jeff tells them they have 5 minutes to get everything they can onto their raft for their tribe. Everyone races to grab things and throw them onto the boat, hoping they don't go into the ocean or hit somebody. After David picks up a large crate of food and throws it onto his boat, Martha notices underneath it a wrapped note that reads, "OPEN AT CAMP" on the front. She grabs it, shoves it in her bra, and tosses some fruit onto her raft. Everyone finished throwing things onto their respective rafts and jump onto it as time dwindles down. Liz grabs a crate of chickens and finally jumps onto her raft right before time is up. Jeff throws the tribes their maps and they start rowing to camp.

Pacte
Pacte gets to camp and drag their raft onto the beach. Simon suggests getting started on the shelter to get everything done as soon as possible. Everyone obliges and works for a while on the shelter, however Matthieu gets tired and decides to take a rest. Simon notices him and yells at him to do work, upsetting him. Nick and Rachael stand up for him and Matthieu and Nick smile at each other. Dale and Angela also protest that they should have a break.

Diane, Liz, Dennis, Martha and Simon all decide they want to work so they continue working as the other 5 go down to the ocean to hang out. Simon continues to complain about the other 5 and he mocks them, irritating Liz who tries blocking it out. Dennis brings up the idea of voting one of the 5 off and Simon wholeheartedly agrees. Diane and Martha also agree cheerfully, and Liz stays quiet. Diane asks who they should vote and Martha suggests they wait to see how everything plays out.

In the ocean, the other 5 are talking with one another. They introduce themselves and Matthieu starts talking about the situation that went down. Nick suggests Simon goes first chance they get and everyone immediately agrees. Rachael says she'll be right back and she goes to camp and says she's getting water, asking if anyone wants some. Diane, Martha and Liz say yes and Liz decides to go with Rachael to get water. At the well, Rachael and Liz talk about Matthieu vs Simon and Rachael suggest voting Simon, which Liz thinks is a good idea.

Everyone goes back to camp and formally introduce themselves. When introducing himself, Dale goes on and on and cracks a ton of jokes, annoying Simon, Diane, Martha and Dennis. He continues joking throughout all of the introductions and is loud in general, and everyone is growing annoyed with him. Diane and Martha leave to go cook some rice and they quietly discuss Dale's behavior and decide on the idea of voting him out first. Simon walks over to them and tells him the plan and he agrees.

Tromperie
Tromperie gets to camp and David instructs everybody on how to build the shelter. Him, Greg, Ashley, and Mary go to get bamboo and palm fronds while the others stay to try and start fire. While trying to get fire with sticks, Brian starts a discussion about alliances. Cody says he likes everyone working on the fire and everybody agrees with him. Brian proposes they form an alliance and they all excitedly agree. Paul is trying to get fire, but he has no luck so Ava takes over. After a few minutes Ava gets a small fire going and carefully puts it in a fireplace Erica built and she blows on it. The fire eventually turns into a full flame and they add sticks to keep it burning and they celebrate.

In the forest, David and Greg start chopping down bamboo and palm fronds and hand them to Ashley and Mary to carry back to camp. Everyone gets a lot of supplies and start back to camp. Greg discusses the idea of them voting together because he has a "good feeling about them". David, Ashley and Mary both agree, but Mary asks how they'll get numbers. Greg says it won't be hard to pull in two people to vote with them.

They get back to camp and see the fire Ava started and Ashley congratulates her with a friendly nature. Brian, Erica and Greg start talking about their lives back home and Erica briefly mentions hoping to have an alliance to go far with. Greg then introduces the idea of those 3 working together to get to the final 3. Both happily agree and Greg smirks at Mary, David and Ashley.

Immunity Challenge
For this challenge, everybody must hang onto the pole. First tribe to have everybody fall off loses. Most people start off okay, but Simon immediately drops and swears. Diane and Martha both drop off of their poles. Cody falls and Brian falls right behind him. Anne and Rachael both fall off. Erica falls off and Mary jumps off. Matthieu starts to slip further down his pole. Liz falls off and Ava does right after. Matthieu slips further until he touches the ground, and Angela falls. Paul's arms give out and he falls. Nick falls. Dale drops and fake cries, annoying Simon. Greg eventually drops to avoid being seen as strong, and Ashley drops. In a showdown between Dennis and David, nobody moves for an hour. Both look very stiff, but out of nowhere Dennis drops.

Pacte
Pacte gets back to camp distraught and upset at their performance. The alliances split off and Liz goes with Simon's first. They solidify the plan to vote for Dale due to his annoying and childish behavior. Liz is a little reluctant because he was good at the challenge, but doesn't let them know that. Martha then tells them about the note that she found and they hope it's an extra vote or a vote steal to make sure they have control of the vote, and Diane is thankful that Martha trusted them all enough to share her advantage.

Liz heads to the beach to the other alliance and they discuss who they should vote out. It was an easy decision for them that Simon should be the one to go for his bossy, rude attitude and weakness in the challenge. Angela and Rachael walk off and talk about the game and decide to form an alliance within their main alliance so that they can get far together. Liz walks along the beach and maps out different scenarios based on where she votes, and she contemplates which alliance to vote with. Rachael and Angela walk up to her and they have a nice talk, trying to get Liz on their side.

Tribal Council
Everyone walks in and dips their torches in the flame and sits down. Jeff starts to ask questions. He asks Matthieu about tribe unity and he answers that its okay but could be better. Nick agrees and says that it will most likely be fixed after this vote occurs. Simon catches wind of this and tells Jeff they plan to vote him off because he spoke his mind about the laziness. Rachael then explains it isn't lazy to want to take a rest, it's human. Simon says he's 70 and didnt need a rest so they shouldn't either, but Angela disagrees with that statement. Jeff is about to start the voting but Martha interrupts him and explains she found an advantage in the first 5 minutes of the game. Instantly Matthieu and Nick look at each other, Angela and Rachael's facial expressions drop and Dale looks shocked. Martha opens the note and reads that she will have an automatic vote cast against her due to the Cursed Idol twist. Everyone looks at each other in shock and Martha is disappointed she received that. Jeff is about to start voting again, but then Matthieu intervenes and suggests to his alliance that they vote Martha to ensure they have the votes. Martha is in shock and pleads for them not to vote for her and to at the very least vote Simon instead, and Jeff starts voting. After everyone voted, Jeff tallies the votes and starts to read them.

FIRST VOTE... Martha (Cursed Idol).

SECOND VOTE... Dale. Dale looks sadly at Martha and Simon, and Simon has a cold look while Martha looks scared. THIRD VOTE... Dale.

FOURTH VOTE... Martha. They are tied 2 votes each. Martha looks over at Liz with a worried expression.

FIFTH VOTE... Martha.

SIXTH VOTE... Dale. They are tied at 3 votes each. Dale and Martha look over at each other, both with a scared facial expression, and Simon glares at Matthieu.

SEVENTH VOTE... Dale. Martha looks a little relieved and Diane smiles.

EIGHTH VOTE... Martha. That's 4 votes Dale, 4 votes Martha, 2 votes left...

NINTH VOTE... Martha. Martha's face drops and she looks at Jeff in horror, realizing her fate. Simon mutters to himself and Rachael smiles at Liz.

FIRST PERSON VOTED OUT OF SURVIVOR: GUADELOUPE...

MARTHA. (7-4)

Martha hugs Simon, Diane and Dennis. She sadly walks her torch up to Jeff and he snuffs it. She wishes her alliance good luck and tells Liz to reap what she sows. She walks out with her head down, embarrassed.

Votes
Martha: (votes for Dale) Sorry, you're irritating. Hopefully Simon goes over me though.

Simon: (votes for Dale) You're by far the most annoying person I have ever had to deal with and I can't wait for you to get out.

Diane: (votes for Dale) I really want Martha to stay, and although it seems like the alternative is Simon, I really hope somehow you can go home. You got on peoples nerves, and you need a wake up call in life.

Dennis: (votes for Dale) Sorry, gotta save Martha and Simon!

Dale: (votes for Martha) Gotta take advantage of a disadvantage! See ya toots, blame the game.

Rachael: (votes for Martha) You're very sweet, but aligning with cancer is never a good idea.

Angela: (votes for Martha) I wish we could be voting for Simon like we were supposed to, but the game had other plans.

Matthieu: (votes for Martha) I didn't want to have to do this, but when the idea came to me I realized it was the best way to ensure I stay another 3 days with the numbers. On an unrelated note have you seen Nick's cute turtleneck? Love it.

Nick: (votes for Martha) God dammit Matthieu, why did you put the target on the likable one... Sorry girlie.

Liz: (votes for Martha) I almost voted for Simon, then when it was you instead I was planning on doing Dale. But something gave me a feeling it would be better to stick with the girls and vote for you. I'm really sorry... I am.

Final Words
"Well, I can't say I'm not horrified I was the first person voted out. At least I can go to bed knowing I played Survivor to my hearts consent and would've stayed if it weren't for a twist I just so happened to find. I had a blast and I hope that my alliance can prevail. On the other hand, I hope Liz does not." -Martha, 20th place.
